Holy Moly! I suppose anyone reading this, in the recent past, thought I had died!
I had such a BUSY summer and on the go so much, I didn't have time to think straight!
I have pictures of some of the fun things I did this summer, that I'll share. And, some project pictures to show.
Mom and I went to Iowa *3rd year in a row* and between that trip and back and forth between my moms house and where hubby is working now, I only slept in my own bed for a total of 16 nights, between the day after Labor Day and November 10, last Wednesday, when I came home, again.
I am W.O.R.E out! 2 months of non-stop GO GO GO~
I did have a workshop/class at the 'little house' Saturday! My poor ladies were sure missin' me! LOL And, I missed them, too! They all are so sweet. We hadn't met since AUGUST! We even celebrated one of the ladies birthday that day, complete with cupcakes from Safeway, a few gifties for her and some singing! LOL
Here are the projects they did:

I am 59, married 39 years, to my one and only. We have 2 single boys, 29 and 33, the youngest is in N. CA,and in the USAF Reserves; the oldest is a welder, working big construction jobs, like his dad. My husband is a pipe welder, working heavy industrial construction jobs. I spend my time between our home and our 32' Travel Trailer, wherever he moves it to for work.
We live in the 'other' Arizona on the AZ/NM border....at 7100', where we have the change of seasons. It's beautiful here, to say the least----and COOL! We love to camp and just spend time in the forest/mountains. Did I mention I LOVE snow??
I have been with Stampin' Up! since October 2007, now a Manager, and LOVE doing workshops/classes. I love to create cards and send snail mail--it's becoming a lost art! I don't do much scrapbooking, but, I love to make alot of the paper crafts, mini ablums and 3D items. And, now, that Stampin' Up! has partnered with Project Life, I am doing a bit of that!
I also love to crochet for my 'therapy'! LOL But, that is SECOND to cutting paper! hehe
